[Intro]
Play slowly; Single strums for the 1st chord sequence

Em                             G
There's not a man can help me, they only make it worse
A                                   B
Tried and tried for years on end to try to break this curse
Em                               G
This curse was cast upon me by a madman's dying breath
A                                     B
Feel his hands around my throat as he drags me to my death
        Em              G               A  B
And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys
    Em              B               Em  B Em
The devil sends the hell hounds for me

[Verse 1]

Em                                 G
Hell hounds come a calling they're howling at my door
  A                                     B
I wish they'd come and claim me I can't take this any more
Em                                    G
Tonight I lay with a buxom whore in a brothel drenched in beer
A                                B
Only the dead will understand or really know my fear
     Em                                         G
They chase me through the dark streets, they're screaming out my name
    A                          B
The more I try to run away the more it seems in vain
     Em                             G
They chase me to the dark wood down by the riverside
      A                                       B
And I wish they'd come and claim me 'cause forever I can't hide

[Chorus]

        Em              G               A  B
And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys
    Em              B               Em  B Em
The devil sends the hell hounds for me

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]

    Em                                  G
The hell hounds come a calling when I'm lying in my bed
  A                               B
I try to cover up my ears but the howling's in my head
    Em                         G
The devil's in the corner he's laughing in my face
        A                                         B
As they drag me screaming through the night to my final resting place
     Em                            G
They smash my head wide open, they rape and torture me
     A                             B
They put a rope around my neck and hang me from a tree
     Em                                G
They flog me with the nine tails, they hang me out to dry
       A                               B
So the crows can feed upon my bones to make sure that I die

[Chorus]

        Em              G               A  B
And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys
    Em              B               Em  B Em
The devil sends the hell hounds for me

[Bridge]

Em  G  A  B

[Break]

C                    Em
They come to take me down
        C
Take me down
        B
Take me down

C                         Em
Well they come to take me down
        C
Take me down
        B
Take me down. Down
